Good Stuff in Today's Post
Today's Washington Post has a plethora of excellent articles that should stir some interesting debates:
1) A front page story about the new GOP's spending habbits. Highway bill, energy tax cuts, appropriations measures that exceed budget mandates, if you don't read closely you'd think Congress was still in Democratic hands. All this begs the question, how long are conservatives, especially fiscal conservatives going to keep voting Republican? I know you all will never vote for "liberals," but when, if ever, will there be a legitimate third party movement from the fiscally conservative right? In my opinion, previous attempts by the likes of either Pat Buchannan or Ross Perot don't count.
2) George Will's Op-ed regarding Sen. Frist and stem-cell research. Will's got it about right I think, but then again he's never been strongly on the side of the religious conservative movement.
3) Even Bob Novak's column in today's Post, (ok, so the link is to the Chicago Sun-Times his home paper) has some interesting points regarding Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and the silencing of the fiscal conservative voice in Congress.
